Ok, why can't I make the archived search work?

[colditz]

It hasn't worked for me for months! i can't find anything! Is anyone else having this problem and if not, what am I doing wrong?

[mumatuks]

what are you searching and in which catergory. I'll try it and see if its just your computer or if its a problem?

[colditz]

I am just randomly searching to try to make it wqork, IYSWIM.

I tried "Gina" in the subject lines, in all topics, from 2000! you would think I wouod get 1 result at least!

[hunkermunker]

I thuoght MN Towers were working on merging the search facility so it searches everything and doing away with the divide between current and archive?

[hunkermunker]

Not that that helps you.

And yes, I sometimes get a blank result where one should get loads of hits.

And doesn't it only go up to the end of 2004 or something?

Mmm, I was looking for a sausage roll thread the other day and thought it was just me that was crap, maybe that explains it (I just knew it couldnt have been me ).

[mumatuks]

It's not coming up with anything for me (I tried Gina also)

Sorry can't help.

[mumatuks]

Oopps, meant Sorry I can't help... got DS1 wantingme to play shops whilst I am typing!

[madmarchhare]

Colditz, you dont get to pick the subject in archive though. Ive just tried 'gina' (in archive, not current) and yes, there is loads.

[madmarchhare]

, sorry, yes you do. Not sure then

[zippitippitoes]

well I just tried own brand in the keywords box and my name as poster and got a thread, but I did try soemthing yesterday and kept getting nil when I know there were threads

[colditz]

Oh!

I made it work!

How odd!

[zippitippitoes]
